hey guys, would appreciate some input on the following situation please....
MIL is 95 y/o, widowed, owns home valued at €350,000, has money in CU, has been in NH under FD for 9 months, terminally ill with life expectancy approx.. 2 months.
QUESTIONS:
1. MIL made a Will in 2018 leaving property etc jointly to my husband & sister (her only offspring), sister lives in UK – is that likely to cause any issues?
2. Hubby & his sister are named co-executors in the will, along with a cousin who nobody is speaking to following a row – can hubby & sister apply for probate without said cousins involvement?
3. Ballpark idea on how long probate is likely to take & how much it would cost?
4. MIL hasn’t got much in CU, so what kind of cost are we looking at for a funeral in Co. Wicklow?
Thanks in advance for any advice
